OCTOBER t 7.—We learn from Stockholm that the Prince CHRISTIAN AUGUSTUS of ScHLEsuip HOLSTEIN SONDENBORGII ALIGU.STENBURGII, WllO has been chosen successor of his present MAJESTY, has returned fl)r anfwer—" That, deeply impressed , with his duty towards' his native coantrk, he could Bat acce . pt the high trust committed to him, till the, time when peace should.have been restored in the.

Dispatches xete this morning received by Go vernment from Bada:;oz, dated the 6th instant; at that time tae whole of our troops were nearly re- stored to pet lea health. The French bad made no movement as:l4lst them. We this n:orning retell ed Moniteurs to the 19th, and Dutch Papers to the 2cl instant,; .but their contents are extremely unintk resting. 'Not one word is, mentioned on the subjea of the Peace be tween Anitria and France. There . is certainly a de gree of mysiery conneeted with this subject, which we are at resent unable to developeP The French and German Papers have been for some weeks past announcing PUONAPAUTE'S intention to take, journies to didetent paces, and yet be remained stationary §plioenbrunn. The last French Papers stated, tat was.expeated At Fentaitibleau between the i5Ol aril 20th, and preparations were made for hi reception ; but the Moniteurs received alio morning to the igtl), make no mention of his arrival. The circumstance of the Treaty having been ofliL la ly and solemnly announced in the Amsterdam Courant, appears also inexplicable. We can hardly believe, that it p'roceeded from accident. A very short time must, however, remove our doubts upon this most momentous question. It is with the' highest pleasure we inform our Readers that the joyfUl event of yesterday passed over in such a manner as becomes a loyal, patriotic, and enlightened people. The idea of celebrating so extraordinary an event as the Fiftieth Anniversary of the accession of so virtuous a Monarch to the Throne of this great Empire, could not . but oc cur. to all - classes of its inhabitants,' and nothing can be more gratifyiug than to find that all classes Most zealously participated in a dispo sition to do honour to the occasion. • All party differences,' indeed, seemed yesterday to have been been wholly absorbed in a general sentiment of re spea and veneration for a Monarch who has never been excelled for true attachment to the welfare" of the People and the honour of the Throne. "'We have given an ample account in our Paper of this day ofali the external marks of loyalty and affe&ion which decorated this great metropolis last night,. and we have the fullest persuasion that all these exterior, manifestations' of regard for so excellent a King, were the sincere expression of what characterised the hearts of his subjeits. We have the pleasure of be lieving that every part of the Empire parteok 'of the same joy, and according to their circum stances expressed it in. the same manner. It is impossible to contemplate such a' day without sen timents of pious gratitude to the Supreme. Disposer of events, for having prolonged the reign of so be nevolent a Monarch to such a period, and thereby affording the present generation of Britons, a grati- . fication which their posterity may never enjoy, since there is not onlythe uncertainty of human life against the recurrence of a similar event, but the exemplary virtues of .the Sovereign. • • PLYISIOUTH, OCT. 9 Portuguese barque that arrived here , yesterday, is the Minerva, Joze JARDIN master, from Pernambuco, laden. with cot ton; sugar, &c. bound to London; was captured by the Hirowlelle French schooner privateer, (that was brought in. here yesterday,) re-captUred by his Ma jestys frigate Naiad.: Arrived the French Chasse-maree La ViMoire, from Bourclea., laden' with wine and rosin, cap tured by his.Majcsty's frigate .Minerva ; the Pro,vi dence revenue cutter, from a Cruize-; Celerity, —, from Oporto, laden with wine and cork, bound to London.

At half past nine o'clock the gates were thrown'open for the Nobility, Gentry, and others having tickets of admission. On the entrance into the gardens, the spetlator was struck with astonishment 'and de light at the charming and fanciful scene of varie gated lamp's, of different figures and colours. • The avenues and walks were hung with brilliant coloured lamps, in the shape of watchmens' lanthorps. The lawns adjoining to the house afforded a rich display, of the choicest shrubs and plants, taken from the green-house. At , ten O'clock the 'Queen arrived, and after her Majesty bad joined the company; the fire-works began, at the conclusion of which there. appeared on a sudden, and ' as it were'hY magic, on the, beautiful piece of water opposite the garden front of the house, two triumphal cars, draWn by two sea horses each, one occupied by Neptune, and precede! by the other with a band of music. The cars had a very superb appearanee.-,-- On coming to the temporary bridge ereaed over the canal opposite the garden front, transpa rencies were displayed in an equally, sudden and_ unexpected manlier on " the battlement, with the words, " Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the Waves," . inscribed on tbem. - At the same moment' the . band struck op the' Mne. Opposite the . bridge, an. elegant Grecian Temple was erected on a mount, surrounded by eight beautiful marble pillars. The' interior of the temple was lined with purple, and in ttie centre :was a large transparency of the Eye of Providence, fixed, as it were, upon a beautifUl,por, trait, of his INlajesty„.surmounted by'stars of lamps. From the temple a doubled• staircase 'descended to the water's edge. On the windings of the staircase were erected nine altars with turning incense.. • 1 On the lawn twelve beautiful marquees were e.reaed, where the company partook of tea and COf fee during the' fire-works. Covers were laid in the principal dining rooms, and at twelve &clock the company sat down to an-elegant supper, consisting, of all the deliCacies of the season. The frames were beautifolly done in emblematic figures, part of which represented Britannia kneeling by the lion, the eye of Providence above, and Underneath was written by her Royal Highuess the Princess Elizabeth, c' Bri tannia, giatetui to Providence, celebrates the bt)th year of a reign sacred to piety and virtue."
